The building will accommodate various municipal offices, including City Planning, Town Planning, and Town Development departments, along with state govt offices.
The project, planned on a 5,304 sq m plot, requires approval for a Rs 96 crore tender to build the 10-storey structure. The proposal will be taken up for approval during the Standing Committee meeting on June 5. The site formerly housed the office of AMC's chief city planner, which was later demolished.
In 2020, the plot became a parking area for over 50 food vans, resulting in a controversy. The authorities have now finalised plans for an 'Urban House' at this site.
According to sources, the AMC initially planned this building near Law Garden, opposite the Ellisbridge Police Line, six years ago. Despite budgetary allocations, the project remained dormant.
In May 2024, plans emerged for a 7-storey structure under a PPP model, which was later revised to a 10-storey building.
Sources revealed that AUDA sanctioned a 16-storey AUDA House opposite Zydus Hospital on SG Highway, with an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore. This building will house state govt offices and a newly established company.
Experts suggest that a joint building project between the AMC and AUDA could result in substantial cost savings, as both structures would serve similar administrative purposes and simplify procedures for builders and developers.

The AMC has incorporated office space for consultant-cum-registrar engineers in the 'Urban House'. This arrangement will accommodate private engineers and consultants involved in plan passing and city planning activities, marking the first such provision by the municipal corporation.

Tata Motors shares slide over 4 pc amid reports of $4.5 billion Iveco acquisition talks
Following reports that Tata Motors is in advanced negotiations to purchase the truck division of Italy's Iveco Group in a possible $4.5 billion deal, the company's shares experienced significant pressure on Wednesday. They fell by almost 4 per cent in early trading. Tata Motors' stock was down 3.08 per cent from the previous close at Rs 671.85, as of 11:23 A.M. The drop is a result of investor apprehension about the scope and consequences of what might turn out to be the second-largest foreign acquisition for the Tata Group after its $12.9 billion acquisition of Corus Steel in 2007. The talks with Iveco, which is owned by the Agnelli family, are reportedly centred on purchasing its Defence and commercial truck businesses. Iveco has admitted to looking into the possibility of selling its industrial vehicle division, but no firm decision has been made as of yet. However, it has been reported that the deal may receive Board-level approvals as early as today. If completed, the deal would be Tata Motors' largest acquisition since its 2008 $2.3 billion acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover and could greatly increase the company's presence in the global commercial vehicle market. The timing is notable, as Tata Motors is spinning off its commercial vehicle business into a separate entity, a process expected to conclude by December 2025. In India, that division has a 30 per cent market share for light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and a 49 per cent market share for heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs). It generated Rs 75,000 crore in revenue in the previous fiscal year. The foundation of Iveco's industrial operations is its truck business, which generates 70 per cent of total industrial revenue. The company's bus and powertrain divisions each contribute 15 per cent. Iveco maintained an 8–9 per cent presence in the medium and heavy truck segment and a 13.3 per cent share in the European LCV market in 2024.
